No way can I imagine my local bakehouse agreeing to allow the workers to start at 9a.m. instead of 6a.m. because there is no-one to take little 'Tiffany' to school .

The problem with shipping jobs offshore is that it is not only the laid-off workers who are hurt, it is the whole economy. All western economies are based on the consumption of goods and services ... which don't come free ... and in order to consume, the consumers need cash ... or at least a solid base on which to borrow. If you send the jobs to countries with low standards of living, horrendous, unprotected working conditions etc, in order to save a few bucks on labour costs your whole economy is in danger ... when you attempt to replace well-paid jobs with insanely easy access to credit you get what we now have ... economic meltdown, with the average joe doing all the suffering.
